i love when science fiction writers who made their little books before phones invent phones for their books and they call them something like a "handheld computer slate"
@nora I've been reading the Foundation series by Asimov and there's one point where he notes that a specific character *does not smoke* as an indication not to trust this character. He even invents the idea of a micro-nuclear powered ash tray! It's incredible how much of a miss that ended up being!
@trainguyrom @nora I love how they smoke on the Nostromo
